library(dplyr)Overview of Finland
Bordered by Norway, Sweden, Russia, the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia, Finland and its vast stretches of heavily forested open land acts as a northern gate between West and East. Capital is Helsinki. Finland is a bilingual country – Finnish and Swedish are both official languages. Finland, which functions today as a parliamentary democracy, is an international leader in providing education, and it ranks high for its performances in civil rights, press freedom and quality of life. The country was one of the first in the world to grant women the right to vote and was the first country to legalize universal suffrage, the right to both vote and run for office. The country’s economy is primarily geared toward free-market capitalism that, like its Nordic neighbors, diverts substantial spending to social safety nets and public services. Historically, the country’s workforce has been tied to the land, however, following World War II the country moved to rapidly industrialize. Today, Finland’s economy reflects its engagement with the world community; one-third of the country’s GDP comes from international trade. Finland is a member of major international organizations, such as the United Nations, World Bank and European Union, as well as regional organizations such as the Nordic Council.

freedom to choose health care services was nearly nonexistent, and in

Choose Health Care Services.” Furthermore, Finland ranked 11th and 17th,
respectively, in the Elements “Affordability of Health Insurance” and
“Access to New Treatments.”
